GRAND SLAM II

Looking at making a couple of these beauties for a Vulcan.

Have the stuff in British secret projects but was wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of a better 3 vie drawing and info on how they would be mounted upon the Vulcan's wing ?

Too be fair any info anyone has will be welcome as this is going to be a major challenge for me and my poor modeling skills.

thanks

TIM

All I have ever seen on this weapon is what Geoff (Thorvic) has shared with us here on WHIF and other forums.  The attached images are a bit small but that is all I have on the subject.  Perhaps someone is still holding out and will hopefully come forth with better references soon.

I took some time today and created a 3D model of the Grand Slam II ASM using Google's SketchUp drawing program.  I have attached two screen captures of the 3D model.

I revisited this model and made some improvements to it:

Added a rocket exhaust nozzle.
Replaced the fins with a more refined version.
Added some additional section separation seams between the major components according to the sketch that was provided. 


The 3D model is available for download from the SketchUp 3D Warehouse at this link: Grand Slam II Air Launched Ballistic Missile
